Preparation for October 2024 General Conference

The Lord’s ways are higher and holier than our ways and we can find hope and peace in Him as we strive to stand in Holy Places and lift those around us. Our Heavenly Father’s plan gets us through the challenges at hand and prepares us for an eternity of joy with Him and our Savior Jesus Christ. There is only two more days until General Conference, and it is hard to believe it has come again so quickly. May we receive the peace, comfort and direction that the Lord is preparing for us in the messages from His servants. I hope you enjoy these wonderful excerpts from President Nelson!

“The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of repentance. Because of the Savior’s Atonement, His gospel provides an invitation to keep changing, growing, and becoming purer. It is a gospel of hope, of healing, and of progress. Thus, the gospel is a message of joy! Our spirits rejoice with every small step forward we take.” – Welcome Message, April 2021

“I know the Lord has great and marvelous plans for us—individually and collectively. With compassion and patience, He says: “Ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath … prepared for you; “And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along.” … Present restrictions on gathering will eventually end. However, your commitment to make your home your primary sanctuary of faith should never end. As faith and holiness decrease in this fallen world, your need for holy places will increase. I urge you to continue to make your home a truly holy place “and be not moved” from that essential goal.” – What We Are Learning and Will Never Forget, April 2021

“Everything good in life—every potential blessing of eternal significance—begins with faith. Allowing God to prevail in our lives begins with faith that He is willing to guide us. True repentance begins with faith that Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us.” – Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains, April 2021

“The pure doctrine of Christ is powerful. It changes the life of everyone who understands it and seeks to implement it in his or her life. The doctrine of Christ helps us find and stay on the covenant path. Staying on that narrow but well-defined path will ultimately qualify us to receive all that God has.3 Nothing could be worth more than all our Father has!” – Pure Truth, Pure Doctrine, and Pure Revelation, October 2021

“If you don’t yet love to attend the temple, go more often—not less. Let the Lord, through His Spirit, teach and inspire you there. I promise you that over time, the temple will become a place of safety, solace, and revelation.” – The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation, October 2021

“Nothing invites the Spirit more than fixing your focus on Jesus Christ. Talk of Christ, rejoice in Christ, feast upon the words of Christ, and press forward with steadfastness in Christ. Make your Sabbath a delight as you worship Him, partake of the sacrament, and keep His day holy.” – Make Time for the Lord, October 2021
